You have a point. The bonuses that were awarded to the suits are whack. In the dev blog logi's were intended to have bonuses towards eq, awesome. however, CCP royally screwed the logi over when Uprising came out (it's just not the assault that got screwed).
Remember how bad the needles were? I couldn't pick anyone up. Bodies weren't where the icon was and sometimes you needed to goto the actual point of death to revive and that still wasn't guaranteed to work. Then came the kill screen. Players had a tough time calling for help. The amount of time that these problems went unfixed, plus the surplus in ISK from the change to uprising, had led to players to say "whatever" and just respawn. Subsequently Logi's stopped using needles as no one waited to be revived.
RESPEC!!!
Now who the **** is going to respec back into that crap support role. Cue the Calogi. Back to the OP's point, why spec assault? You get a free ADV basic if you spec into logi, and the bonuses for assaults are terrible. Calogi offered just about anything anyone could want, and after that nasty little reply ticket from the respec a lot of people went Calogi. It's assault, it's logi, it's anti-vehicle, it's a sniper ect. perfect right?
WRONG!
Little did we know that CCP had intended on changing all logi bonuses. We still do not know exactly what they are yet. Heres hoping my new bonus will fit my playing style. Anyone hoping for another respec?
LOL!
Good news though, players are increasingly starting to wait for a revive... however its nowheres near the same. Calogi's are starting to play like logis again... sort of. Assault suits will probably get new bonuses... SoonTM.
To fix assault suits is going to be hard. I think one way may be to decrease all damage by 15% or so and give a 1% bonus per level to primary weapon damage to assault suits and give bonuses that will be beneficial towards their racial weapon.
Lowering damage overall will make for longer fights which will strengthen the logi's support role and give more importance towards having a diverse squad.
